there RFY shocks. super cheep chinese junk, but you know what... they work great! Ebay them. Although there are tons of different size's and cheeper one's by the same manufacturer just make sure there not for a mini bike or something before you buy any.
These were for a CB750 i think.

Congratulations btw, and here's the link for anybody else that's looking

I didn't modify the tank, just pounded the underside in a bit because it slightly hit the frame tube.
I retained the stock rear mount on the frame and welded 2 small bungs on the frame to hold the 2 round rubber tank holders for the front tank mount - removed the stock metal U shaped holders from the frame - the tank has them on the inside. Then took the stock round front rubbers and bandsaw'd them thinner to fit between the frame and front tank mounts. Hard to explain but if i snap a pic i'll post it.

capacity is 4.5 gal

Awesome! Well it looks great. I'd love to have bigger than a 2 gallons tank.
